Safety system of your vehicle
ONLY use your mobile devicewhen allowed by laws and when
conditions permit safe use. NEVER
text or email while driving. Most
countries have laws prohibiting
drivers from texting. Some coun-
tries and cities also prohibit drivers
from using handheld phones.
NEVER let the use of a mobile device distract you from driving.
You have a responsibility to yourpassengers and others on the road
to always drive safely, with your
hands on the wheel as well as your
eyes and attention on the road.Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally,
the higher the speed, the greater the
risk, but serious injuries can also
occur at lower speeds. Never drive
faster than is safe for current condi-
tions, regardless of the maximumspeed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle in Safe Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechani-
cal failure can be extremely haz-
ardous. To reduce the possibility of
such problems, check your tire pres-
sures and condition frequently, and
perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.

Safety Precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sit-
ting in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role in driver and
passenger safety together with theseat belts and air bags in an accident.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Sitting too close to an air bag
greatly increases the risk of injury in
the event the air bag inflates.
Move your seat as far back as possi-
ble from front air bags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in appropriate child
restraint systems. Adults and chil-
dren who have outgrown a booster
seat must be restrained using the
seat belts.
Do not use a cushion thatreduces friction between the
seat and the passenger. The
passenger's hips may slide
under the lap portion of the seatbelt during an accident or a
sudden stop. Serious or fatalinternal injuries could resultbecause the seat belt cannot
operate properly.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-cautions:
•Adjust the driver's seat as far
to the rear as possible whilemaintaining the ability to
maintain full control of the
vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger seat as far to the rear as pos-
sible.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Hold the steering wheel by the
rim with hands at the 9 o'clock
and 3 o'clock positions to
minimize the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
NEVER place anything or any- one between the steering
wheel and the air bag.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place feet or legs on the
dashboard to minimize therisk of leg injuries.WARNING

the front seats. Loose objects
in the driver's foot area could
interfere with the operation of
the foot pedals, causing anaccident.

Reclining seatback Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protection of your restraint system
(seat belts and air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, theshoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger'ships will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger's neck will strike theshoulder belt.
Seat cushion height
To change the height of the seat cushion:
Push down on the lever several
times, to lower the seat cushion.
Pull up on the lever several times, to raise the seat cushion.

ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
